The CHS Healthcare Regional Roadshows officially commenced on August 20, 2025, with the first stop being at Bendigo Hospital. The event welcomed healthcare professionals, including occupational therapists, to an insightful training session and free CPD training focused on ceiling hoists, slings, and patient handling solutions.
We extend our gratitude to Bendigo Hospital for hosting this event and supporting the launch of the CHS Healthcare Regional Roadshows. Their partnership and facilities provided an excellent setting for this important start to our regional program.
